Reminds me of the time Indranee Rajah came to speak at NUS.
But the loudest applause and a standing ovation was reserved for Chiam See Tong, and rightly so. -
Not too many quality questions asked, but at least the burning questions were asked. But the answer not to my liking! All the warp logic.Originally posted by Darkness_hacker99: I still feel that the Q&A session is too short le.. Not much quality questions were asked. -
She said "a reduction in budget", not revenue.Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:Reduced taxes doesn't mean increased revenues. Rather, it means a reduction in revenues. Take for example corporate taxes. From 35% to 30%, it's a 5% drop, which is a lot, considering that corporations do earn a decent amount.

Haha, yeah.Originally posted by LazerLordz:Reminds me of the time Indranee Rajah came to speak at NUS.

I realize that the applause for Sylvia Lim's talk is louder than today's one.
And when today's talk ended, everybody ran right for the exit, while for Sylvia Lim's one, there's no such urgency. Really great difference. -
I remembered wrongly.Originally posted by Darkness_hacker99:She said "a reduction in budget", not revenue.
But I guess it meant the same to her and government. -

So do you agree with her answer about ministrial payrise? -
Never. The moment she sprouted that minsters took a pay cut during the bad economical period, never had their pay adjusted in the last 6 years already gives me a reason to shut my mind and stopped listening to whatever crap she's going to say.Originally posted by Darkness_hacker99:

It's when she talked about the ministers' salaries part... and the unpopular ways of PAP...Originally posted by Darkness_hacker99: -
She was trying to justify policies which are unjustifiable, which is why the logic seems so warped and convoluted.

Problem is....these people are brainwashed. They believe that what they say is true.
So what is there to talk?
Show me one PAP person who hasn't been brainwashed. -
I wonder if RP ask CSJ to come and have a talk, who will attend ar..

Honesty is hardly a virtue in this situation.
